    Initial carburetor setup

    Hey all I recently took the carb (Holley 4150 750 CFM) off my 440 Cuda because it needs to be rebuilt. I bought the carburetor probably 35 years ago and it sat new in box all that time. Lately, it sat with ethanol gas in it and being used from time to time and now the float valves won't seal. I...

    Gas gauge replacement

    Hello all I've been having trouble with my gas gauge in a '74 Cuda (Rallye dash) and have tried a couple different things to troubleshoot and I'm starting to think it's the gauge. I didn't have a ground strap on the new sender so I tried a few good known grounds on the sender suction tube and...

    Problem with Optima battery

    A while back (7/21/2021) I bought a yellow top Optima for my Cuda. I have an alarm that draws .02 milliamps and after sitting for a while, the lead acid batteries I had bought in the past were deeply discharged. This is primarily why I bought the yellow top because it was my understanding that...

    Manifold vacuum and power brakes

    Hello all I've have a couple of problems and I could use some advice with my power brake booster and engine vacuum situation. My car is a '74 Cuda 440 clone that used to be a 318 car. It's now got a Tremec 5 speed OD with a semi mild pro-built 440 with a Holley Street Dominator single plane...

    Aluminum head re-torque

    I recently bought a set of new Edelbrock heads for my '74 440 Cuda and I've had some adventures getting the stock exhaust manifold studs and sleeve nuts out of the stock exhaust manifolds. The rear most sleeve nut on the driver's side exhaust manifold has caused me to have to remove the driver's...

    Mopar Performance valve covers

    Hi Guys I have been having a hard time with the Mopar Performance aluminum valve covers and the fastening studs/nuts on my 440. I bought a stud and nut kit at Summit because I thought it would make it easier to locate and fasten the valve covers down. Those have turned out to be kind of a pain...

    Wiper arm and seatbelt interchangeabilty

    Hello I'm almost done with my 74 Cuda clone project and two things I need to find are RH and LH windshield wiper arms and a pair of front seat belts. Does anybody know if those items are interchangeable with other Mopars besides E bodies? That would make it much easier to find some for sale...

    Cuda front license plate bracket

    Hello I have a '74 Cuda and I have been looking for a front license plate bracket that will just bolt on. I have seen that Year One makes them for Challengers but not sure that would just bolt on to a Cuda. I could probably drill the front bumper and the bottom lip of the front valance but it...

    Steering column mystery

    Hello I have been puzzling over the steering column in my '74 Cuda. I suspect either parts may be missing or I have a column from another year. There is very clearly something wrong with it and the exploded view I found for that year does not seem to have a lot in common with what I have got...

    Lower steering column exploded view

    Hello In addition to my power steering pump needing to be worked on, my lower power steering column just above the coupling seems to be missing a dust seal and bearing or bushing. I have a .pdf manual but the exploded view I have isn't very good and I can't tell exactly what it needs and how it...

    Power steering box question

    Well, along with the general theme of having to rebuild or replace every dad gummed thing in the entire car, I now notice my power steering box is leaking its new fluid out onto the floor. I thought maybe, just maybe, there was one piece of equipment that would not have to be gone through to at...

    Worst parts supplier ever

    I was curious about something. I recently bought a brake kit for my Cuda from a guy (Gearheads Enterprises and "Fatrodder" on Ebay) I found on Ebay. I wish I had made the actual transaction through ebay instead of calling him because I would have had more leverage for when this guy bent me over...

    Cuda rear sway bars

    Hello I was wondering if anyone has ever run an aftermarket 7/8" rear sway bar and used the stock whatever it is rear sway bar also? The large one mounts down below, the stock one mounts up higher closer to the gas tank. Any reason not to use both if possible? Over steer or under steer? The...

    Noob with question

    Hello I've owned a 1970 slant six Challenger for about 16 years and have never seen another one. Does anyone have any idea how many are left? I have no intention of ever selling it or cloning it. It has a numbers matching engine but added some Clifford goodies to it because I kept cracking the...
